That unavoidable, black-and-white, worldview of survival of the fittest with little if any gray to mitigate it is colored only by the red lifeblood of the victims of the bigger, the stronger, the smarter, the wilier, who literally and/or figuratively "eat" their victims - overcoming, overwhelming, controlling, oppressing them. The premise behind Insult to Injury: Violence in Spanish, Hispanic American and Latino Art and Literature focuses on the representation of the visual and literary artistic products of a group of seemingly alike yet divergent societies, with linguistic and cultural ties that reflect those societies' means of control. These representations socialize viewers and/or readers in personal or public situations, establishing ubiquitous hierarchies. French social anthropologist/literary critic/theorist Rene Girard maintains in Violence & the Sacred that "the oldest means of social control is. violence." While the incorporated violence itself is not the overweening theme of this work, the representation or threat of violence functions in reality in terms that imply its consequences to the viewer or reader. These consequences are discussed in terms of control-directed violence based on gender roles and politics, socio-cultural power, and environmental issues or eco-violence. The underlying message is that of the necessity to behave according to imposed norms, stated or implied, or suffer those consequences - a convincing leitmotif in works by Spanish, Hispanic American and Latino visual artists and writers in the Spanish language over the ages"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAmerican literature$xHispanic American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSpanish American literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSpanish literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aViolence in literature 606 $aSocial control in literature 606 $aViolence in art 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHispanic American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSpanish American literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSpanish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aViolence in literature. 615 0$aSocial control in literature. 615 0$aViolence in art. 676 $a810.9868073 686 $aSOC044000$aLIT004050$2bisacsh 702 $aAndrist$b Debra D.$f1950- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151561803321 996 $aInsult to injury$92888445 997 $aUNINA
